Thanks for these notes, Martyn.

I will try to make it this time, for a change. Are the dates final yet ?

Did outstanding work for GLib 2.26 get discussed ? I am only aware of
the datetime work, anything else ?

I assume we also need a GTK+ 2.22 release in time for Gnome 2.32. Do
the changed timelines affect our 2.22 plans in any way ?

I'll put this on my list for this week.

GtkToolbar also has some animation in it.

Are there more details on this somewhere ? GtkSearchEngine already has
a tracker backend, so I wonder what exactly is the goal here. What has
been discussed in the past was to re-merge this with the nautilus
search code (and maybe move it to gio).
